From The Tennessean:
Most Tennesseans are opposed to banning books, despite lawmakers’ recent efforts to restrict what is available in school libraries, a new poll finds.
The poll, conducted in April, surveyed 1,125 registered voters in Tennessee on whether they support bans based on content about race, gender or sexuality.
More than 58% of voters polled were strongly opposed to book bans, with another 10% somewhat opposed, the poll found, even as Tennessee lawmakers have made headlines after threatening to “burn” books considered inappropriate or claiming there are “pornographic” materials in school libraries.
